3 agile frameworks you need to know (besides scrum)

Agile, introduced in 2001, is a set of principles and values aimed at enhancing software development by fostering better value delivery and solid products, often misunderstood as a process rather than a mindset. This overview explores various agile frameworks beyond Scrum, highlighting their growing adoption in over 70% of tech companies due to their ability to tailor agile principles to specific organizational needs. Frameworks like Scrumban, Iterative Development, and Lean Development are discussed; Scrumban blends Scrum and Kanban to improve workflow visualization and process efficiency, Iterative Development combines Waterfall and Agile principles to facilitate rapid iterations on legacy products, and Lean Development, inspired by Toyota's lean manufacturing, emphasizes waste reduction and rapid delivery through principles like building quality in and optimizing the whole. Understanding these frameworks equips product managers with adaptability and innovation capabilities, enabling them to streamline processes, onboard quickly, and expedite execution in diverse organizational environments.
